No way: conection to internet absolutely unstable because the IP address of the devices changes many times per day.
When the Orbi is in router mode and devices have been assigned IP addresses by entering their MAC address into the LAN Setup Table (Advanced Tab, Setup, LAN Setup menu) every device should get the same IP address every time.
Re: Orbi RBR850 V3.2.18.1 DHCP Assigning IPs every few seconds
My RBR850 is running in Access Point mode since by (my) experience is working better than the router mode, so what you suggest seems non applicable. I am now trying to work with a static IP for each device in my local net and see what happen. I will report the results after a pair of days
What a puzzle! I collect the logs from my (original) Orbi and there are no log entries that start with Jan 01, or contain -5:00.
This is yet another example of the frustration customers face when their Netgear product behaves strangely and there is no documentation or customer service contact to explain it.
Another datapoint - My RBR850 running the Beta firmware V3.2.18.223 (to fix the DNS bug) does include these mysterious Jan 01 log entries. I collect all the Netgear logs in my gmail and see that these Jan 01 log entries have appeared for a long time, e.g., a log from Feb 5 also includes them.
